DIFFERENT PAINTING MEDIA

DIFFERENT PAINTING MEDIADIFFERENT PAINTING MEDIA
•Gouache is similar to water color but has been modified (has larger particles) to be more opaque. Its binding agent is usually gum arabic. You can add egg yolk to gouache in order to create a tempera like look…or just use tempera…it’s cheaper. Lighter tones tend to dry darker and darker tones lighter.
